Graham exits on opening series
Cleveland Browns defensive tackle Mason Graham has been ruled out for the rest of Thursday night’s home game against the Pittsburgh Steelers after suffering a knee injury. The setback occurred on Pittsburgh’s opening series when Graham’s left leg bent awkwardly while he was being blocked. He made his way to the medical tent with some assistance and later walked to the locker room.
Strong start cut short
Selected No. 5 overall in the 2025 draft, Graham has opened his second season productively. His four sacks lead the Browns and rank tied for the second most in the NFL, underscoring his early impact before the injury forced him from the contest.
Further defensive line setback
Depth along the Browns’ defensive line took another blow later in the game. Mike Hall Jr., who had entered in Graham’s place, was carted to the locker room after sustaining an ankle injury in the second quarter.
